Thanks for sharing, an explanation on why you're doing something is always much appreciated. Most of this looks good, and the Mordor nerf is an additional much welcome suprise.

I wonder though what exactly you mean by: "All gear now has its stats directly fed to it from the core ratings system." I've reread that paragraph 3x times now but I still can't make sense of it. Probably because I'm not a native English speaker. Could you (or anyone else) put in practical terms what that entails? Thanks!
